Iron Brick Paving Stones.

Paving blocks called iron brick are
now being introduced by Louis Jochum,
of Ottweiler, near Saarbrucken, Ger
many. This brick is made by mixing
equal parts of finely ground red argillace-
Gus slate and finely ground clay, and
adding 5 per cent. Of iron ore. This
mixture is moistened with a solution of
25 per cent sulphate of iron, to which
fine iron ore is added until it shows a
consistency of S8 degs. Baume. It is
then formed in press, dried, dipped
once more in nearly concentrated solu-
ton of sulphate of iron and finely ground
iron ore, and is baked in an oven for 4S
hours in an oxidizing flame and "a hours
in a reducing flame. The German gov
ernment testing laboratory for building
materials has reported fayorably on this
brick. Scientific American,

Anecdote of John G. Heenan.

In after years / had the honor of MAX
ing the acquaintance of the American
winner-the Benicia Boy, as we fondly
dubbed him-a tall, grave, urbane gen
tleman, with reddish brown hair and a
purple mustache. He wore black broad
cloth and tall hat, and diamonds
sparkled here and there. | wonder what
the present champion of the world would
have done if pitted against that indi-
vidual. We had sand bag hanging up
in the college gymnasium; it was sus,
pended by long rope to a horizontal
iron bar half way from floor to ceiling
The strongest man in the college-and he
was pretty stronghold once hit this bag
so hard that it swung up on a level with
the bar. One day Heenan dropped in
We suggested that he should hit the bag,
He glanced at the bag, and stripped off
his black broadcloth coat, and laid it with
its sblzen lining outward, over the back
of chair. Then he walked up to the
bag, poised himself for moment and his
arm shot out. The bag flew upward with
an impetus that carried it completely
round the bar once and nearly round the
SeCOHQ tlHle. AS IL lell l0eudn SnOOK his
head sadly and turned away. No one
spoke; but as he slowly inserted himself
into the silk lining he remarked:
s'Boys, you should have seen me when
/ was fit!"
The muscles al, the back of his shoul-
ders were about of the appearance and
consistency of ammonites- variety of
extinct ceDhalopodic molluslxs. whose
coiled stone remains occur in certain
geologic strata. a.-Julian Hawthorne in

Common People of Russia.

There is lower grade of intelligence
in the common people in Russia than was
ever found among the blacks Of America
during slavery. The American negro
had from the very beginning a natural
s'horse sense, a cunning which gave
him reason. There is nothing in the
minds of the mass Of Russians except that
which is carried by the senses of sight
and hearing. They do not reason. In
st. Petersburg there are thousands 0
drosky (carriage) drivers, and / am told
that not one in twenty can read the signs
along the streets, and not two in five
hundred can read book or newspaper.
And yet these men have had, for Rus
slams, extraordinary opportunities. What,
then, must be the condition of the people
in the country-t those who have not had
contact with the world?
The proportion of these ignorant Eeo-
pie to the intelligent and educated is
about go per cent. OF the 100000, 600
population in Russia about 60, 600, 600
were either among the serfs freed by Al
exander II quarter of century ago or
are the offspring of those white slaves.
They do not know what school is, and
have learned more abject manners than
our black folks. I have never encoun-
tered SO much obsequiousness anywhere.
Not only do the working people perpe
trate upon the visitor all sorts of salaams,
but merchants and people in the upper
classes have the infection, and bow and
blink till white freeman must blush. -

To stop Train Robbing.

A correspondent Of a Texas paper says
that s'train robberies can very easily and
successfully be prevented at very small
cost by firing suitable steam and hot
water atomizers so that the robbers can
instantly be covered with spray of hot
water and steam at any point within
thirty feet from the locomotive.
sThe engineer or fireman can instantly
discharge the atomizer from various
points about their usual stands, unnotice-
able by the robbers, and be Immediately
hid under dense cloud of steam so the
robbers cannot see to shoot them in case
the robbers are not instantly scalded and
disabled or killed. Such atonlizers are
very simple and cannot easily get out of
fix, and if they are introduced I think
will put stop to train robbing. / have
three different plans, all of which / will
give gratis to any locomotive builders or
railroad companies if they wish. .

Punting on the Thames.

Parties of ladies and gentlemen were
pushing and pulling to and fro, and
landing and embarking at the floats,
which were covered with "boats for
hfre.'' Sometimes a lady was pulling
and her ''feller' would lie back at his
ease in the stern sheets, and sometimes it
was reversed. A curious sort of fiat
bottomed boat, like an Ohio river slxiff,
was very popular among the ladies.
These boats were poled along, the water
being clear and shallow and the bottom
firm. The young lady would walk for
ward, put down the pole to the bottom
and walk clear back to the stern, push
ing with all her strength, then, walking
forward again, repeat the process. This
is punting, and is very nice where some
pretty girl does the work and you are ly-
ing under a parasol with another pretty
girl in the stern cushions. Many of these
girls appeared to be clever oarswomen.
All made up pretty picture. the young
men mostly wore white flannel panta-
looms, white canvas boating shoes, and
blue coats or none at all, and some af-
fected the gay sash of the Venetian gon-
dolier. The ladies wore all sorts of fancy
boating costumes, mostly combinations of
blue and white. -Pittsburg Dispatch.

Hog Meat In Mexico.

Hog meat is an expensive luxury down
in Mexico. / never found it out until
the last time 1 was there, this fall.
was up at little mining town, and was
buying some supplies to take up to a
mining camp in which I am interested.
l saw some nice looking sidemeat or
bacon on the counter in the supply store,
when it occurred to me that it would
taste pretty well for breakfast some
morning. ! ordered the clerk to cut off
ten pounds for me, and while he was
preparing to do it asked him how he
sold it. You can judge my astonishment
when he said he would reduce the price
to me and make it 81 pound. Well, I
didn't buy it. As for hams-they never
saw ham there. The Mexicans know
nothing about the curing of meat, and
the bacon they sell is imported from the
United States. It was only quite re-
Gently they began selling meats by the
pound They formerly sold it by the
yard. Going into their markets you
would see the beef and other meats cut
up in strips, which was measured out to
the customer The very finest fresh beef
is sold there at 1sc. to 25e. per pound

Regarded AS a Public Benefactor.

The wife of Gen. Crook, the Indian
fighter, is regarded as public benefactor
by the people Of Arizona, 1t came about
in this way: She was travelling across
the territory by rail several years ago.
Her lunches had been provided by city
caterer, and the most striking feature
of them was the abundance of water
crosses, There were altogether too many
crosses to suit Mrs. Crooks taste, and
accordingly she threw them out of the
window But she did not dispose of
them haphazard. The country is crossed
by innumerable brooks, and it was only
in passing them that Mrs. Crook threw
out the superhuous crosses. They took
root on the spots where they fell, and
multiplied with marvellous rapidity. The
result is that today this delicate appetizer
is to be found in almost all parts of the
territory, where before Mrs. Crook s
chance sowing it was entirely unknown.

Americas Rich Gxpsies.

have no doubt that half million of
the million and half gypsies we now
have among us are what are known
among the Romany as drom gypsies-
that is, gypsies of the road; gypsies whose
heritage of patriarchal and pilgriming
tradition will no more permit them to
herd in towns, save out of necessity, than
will foxes. Of these, as I have previ-
ously stated in print, / have names and
addresses of nearly 1000 heads of fanli-
lies, OF petty tribes, whose combined
wealth exceeds 5000, ,000,0 600. Hosts
aside from these have gained or are
securing little properties. These largely
consist of fine farms, country tavern
stands, toll gate privileges, tracts OF wood
land of which they are very fond, livery
sales stables in the smaller towns and
villages, and, not infrequently, extensive
town properties, particularly the larger
sales stables in metropolitan cities.
Thousands upon thousands are able to
live comfortably without effort upon
rentals and other incomes. But they are
never idle, and never fail of passing some
portion of each summer upon the road.
Their tradings, or preparations for trad
ing, never cease; nor does their fortune
telling, for the wife of a gypsy worth
$3.50, ,000-and l have the acquaintance
of more than one Of these-will as nimbly
tell your fortune for silver as would the
wife of the most poverty stricken gypsy
tinker ever helped solder pan or patch
a kettle, Edgar L. Wakeman's Letter.

The drink called ''toddy'' is the illice
extracted from the cocoanut palm, and is
collected in earthenware pots called
''chatties, y into which the sap runs dur
ing the night from an incision made in
the spathe In the morning the sstoddy
drawer, " connecting his feet by a piece
OF rope, swarms up the smooth trunk of
the tree with which he intends commen-
cling operations, and, having reached the
lofty summit, he empties the contents of
the chatty into a vessel attached to his
waist. In order to save himself the fa-
tlgue OF descending each tree and ascend
ing the next in succession, he passes from
one to another by means of two ropes on
one of which his bare feet rest, while
with his hands he holds on to the other.
These ropes in course of time become
untrustworthy from exposure to weather,
and have to be occasionally changed.
But too often the unfortunate rope
walker, grown careless by long immun-
lty from accident, neglects to renew his
perilous bridge, and the swapping of
either rope causes his death. Were the
lower rope to break, there might still be
hope of clinging to the other, and SO
working his way along; but should the
upper one break, obviously there is little
chance of his saving himself, even though
the other remained sound. From this
comes the proverb: eff the supporting
rope breaks ones mainstay is gone. -
